Abstract

Atherosclerosis is a complex, systemic, multifactorial, and multistage disease with numerous risk factors that predispose and trigger the process of atherogenesis. The well-known ARIC study demonstrated that intima-media thickening (IMT) of the common carotid artery greater than 0.9 mm is significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications, even in the absence of symptoms.
